Hi everyone,

I'm here because I don't understand some little things, and I will be glad if you can help smile.
I havn't installed iRedMail yet, as it appears to be on a fresh install and I don't want to reinstall everything if it doesn't work.

Here is my problem :
I've a diaspora pod on my server (it's like server acting like a node for diaspora).
I need SSL on it.

When I create a ssl certificate on startSSL website, they ask me on which email I want to receive it. I only have few choices and can't write my own, it's always : postmaster@ogdabou.ninja, or admin@ogdabou.ninja.

Here is where iRedMail comes smile.
I need an email for postmaster@ogdabou.ninja in order to receive this certificate.

But when I started the iRedMail installation, it asked me what will be the email, but the email should be different.
If I  have a domain : ogdabou.ninja

Why can't I create a mail postmaster@ogdabou.ninja ?

Maybe I didn't understood how things work, but I'm stuck. I need a  postmaster@ogdabou.ninja mail but iRedMail seems to allow me only to create a no-ogdabou.ninja mail.

Thank you !

Re: StartSSL required mail, domain name and iRedMail mail

The iRedMail installation wizard says you cannot use the same domain name for mail domain and server hostname. So please change your server hostname instead.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.
But... what should I do ?
If I undertand, I simply need to change my hostname (in /etc/host and /etc/hosts).
This change will not affect how my site is accessed but will permit iredmail to create a mail postmaster@ogdabou.ninja.

Am I right ?
